Twitch Chat Bridge Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get my oauth token?
Visit https://twitchapps.com/tmi/ and authorize the application with your Twitch account. The site will generate an oauth token that you need to copy and save somewhere safe—you'll enter this in the mod's credentials tab.
Why aren't Twitch messages showing up in my game?
First, make sure you've run `/twitch enable` and `/twitch watch CHANNEL` with the correct channel name. Check that your oauth token and username are correctly entered in the mod's configuration, and verify that the Twitch channel is actually active and has chat enabled.
Can I watch multiple Twitch channels at once?
No, you can only monitor one Twitch channel at a time. Use `/twitch watch CHANNEL` to switch between channels—this will disconnect from the previous channel and connect to the new one.
What's the difference between broadcast true and false?
With `/twitch broadcast true`, Twitch chat messages appear to everyone on your Minecraft server as if they were player messages. With `/twitch broadcast false`, Twitch messages only appear in your client's chatbox and aren't relayed to other players.
Do I need to be a streamer to use this mod?
No, any player can use this mod to view and interact with any public Twitch channel's chat while playing Minecraft. You just need a Twitch account to generate an oauth token.
Will this mod slow down my game?
The mod is designed to be lightweight and shouldn't noticeably impact performance. If you experience lag, try disabling the integration with `/twitch disable` temporarily to confirm the mod isn't the cause.
How do I send messages to Twitch chat from Minecraft?
This mod only displays Twitch chat in Minecraft—it doesn't allow you to send messages back to Twitch. You'll need to use Twitch's chat interface directly to participate in the stream's conversation.
What happens if I type /twitch disable?
The mod stops relaying Twitch chat messages to your Minecraft chatbox. You can restart the integration anytime by running `/twitch enable` again.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, but only the player who configured the mod will see Twitch messages unless they use `/twitch broadcast true` to relay them to all players on the server.
Do I need to set up the mod every time I launch Minecraft?
No, your credentials and settings are saved in the mod's configuration. You only need to run `/twitch watch CHANNEL` and `/twitch enable` when you start playing to reconnect to your desired Twitch channel.
